)

func main() {
    kb := goinput.NewKeyboard()
    m := goinput.NewMouse()
    
    // Set up a key state
    kb.SetState(keyboard.A, keyboard.Down)
    
    // Check a key state
    if kb.Down(keyboard.A) {
        fmt.Println("Key A is down")
    }
    
    // Set up a mouse button state
    m.SetState(mouse.Left, mouse.Down)
    
    // Check a mouse button state
